they may be a harder shock but they are way more quality than a ishock or fox shock that is going to break or blow

im callling bs bro i have a race tech shock and it has been the best shock i have ever had it always worked good and after a year i had it rebuilt and reset for my weight and it has no problems if you have broken two race techs why didnt they fix it or send you a new one? or your hitting some stuff that you shouldnt be

theres no point to doing that, it will just turn the bike into a mini hill climber with the stretched swinger with stock travel. if you are wanting the travel out of it get a shock with the length it can use (extended shocks)

gotcha. . i think im just confused on what the hell i want lol. i just put my bike up for trade so who knows what i want to do

spyr_409 · 10-15-2009, 09:18 AM

if that shock is a 275mm it will not be a hill climber i ran an elka 275mm with sikk 110 +4 swinger and marzocci forks bike sit level. as long as your race tech shock isnt 260mm actual stock length it will sit higher than stock! have whoever has the shock measure it for you! i know when i ordered my elka i went through ahp and they didnt have the length listed it just said stock length and it ended up being 275mm and was an awesome setup w the sikk 110 swinger. The swinger you have is basically the same lmk if you want ill send you some older pics of my bike w that setup.

austinmulhern · 10-15-2009, 09:26 AM

id back up a race tech shock 150% any day of the week. and for 300 bucks i wouldnt think twice about picking it up

spyr_409 · 10-15-2009, 09:50 AM

the pic of just the bike is sikk 110s +2 w kx60 forks. And the race pic is marzocchi forks w sikk 110s +4 as long as you get a 275mm shock it sits perfect. lmk if these dont open ill email them to you i thought i had more!

Don't listen to this tool. If you want to buy the race tech shock, do it. One of the best suspension companies in the business. And not just the mini business.
